Re: [libvirt] [PATCH V3 1/2] util: Allow to query the presence of host CPU bitmaps

The functions to retrieve online and present host CPU information are only supported on Linux for the time being. This leads to runtime errors if these function are used on other platforms. To avoid that, code in higher levels using the functions must replicate the conditional compilation in higher level which is error prone (and is plainly spoken ugly). Adding a function virHostCPUHasBitmap that can be used to check for host CPU bitmap support. NB: There are other functions including the host CPU count that are lacking support on all platforms, but they are too essential in order to be bypassed.
